Can Halsin be Recruited?
Yes, Halsin can be recruited as a companion in Baldur’s Gate 3, but it requires completing the main story quest Rescuing the Druid Halsin and making specific choices that align with the druids‘ interests. To successfully recruit Halsin, players must avoid siding with the Goblins and instead work to rescue Halsin from the goblin camp, after which they can join the player’s party in Act 2.
Recruitment Process
Step-by-Step Guide
To recruit Halsin, players must first locate him in the goblin camp, which is accessible by heading west toward the map marker from the Blighted Village. Once at the camp, players must navigate through it, avoiding or defeating goblins as they go, until they reach the Worgs Pen where Halsin, in the form of a bear, is being held captive. By rescuing Halsin and completing the subsequent quest, players pave the way for Halsin to join their party.
